  • PAGE 4/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/NOVEMBER 9, 1978 1978 elections at a glance Elections at a Glance is compiled from the wires of United Press International. Edited by Al Lagano. WASHINGTON—The republicans gained six governor's offices, picked up three more peats in the Senate and 11 additional seates in the House. However, the Democrats continue to carry big majorities in both the Senate and the House with a total of 32 governors to 17 for the GOP. The Democrats now control 59 Senate seats to the Republicans 41 (51 is needed for control), and 277 House seats to 158 for the Republicans (218 is needed for control). The biggest gain for the Republicans came in state houses where they took 13 legislatures away from the Democrats and between 300 and 350 seats. TEXAS—This year's close ones were in Texas where Republican John Tower was declared the winner later Wednesday afternoon over Congressman Bob Krueger and millionaire oilman Bill Clements became the first Republican governor of Texas in 105 years. That race was also settled late Wednesday afternoon. SOUTH CAROLINA—Seventy five year old Senator Strom Thurmond was reelected to the senate for his fifth six-year term. Thurmond defeated Democrat "Pug" Ravenel in an election decided early in the evenine. MASSACHUSETTS—The only black member of the senate, Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke, was defeated Tuesday. However, all the Black incumbants in the House were reelected and they'll be joined by three more Blacks: Bennet Stewart of Illinois, William Gray of Pennsylvania and George Leland of Texas. Even Charles Diggs of Michigan wi ; reeltcted despite his conviction last month on charges of taking payroll kickbacks. TAX CUTS ACROSS THE NATION—Returns on a cross-country list of referenda calling for tax cuts are leading in Alabama, Idaho, Illinois. Nevada, North Dakota and texas along with two counties in Maryland. Proposition 13 type proposals were rejected in Michigan and Oregon. Tax cut referenda also failed in Colorado, Florida and Arkansas. KANSAS—Republican Nancy Kassebaum, daughter of 1936 GOP Presidential nominee Alf Landon, will be the only female in the 96th Congress. The only other woman to run for the Senate was Jane Eskind of Tennessee who lost to Senate Minority Leader Howard Baker. Women will continue to hold about 18 seats in the House with at least three new faces in the group. FLORIDA—Democrat Robert Graham defeated Republican drug store millionaire Jack Eckard for the governorship in that state. Although Florida voted "yes" for Graham it voted "no" on issues ranging from tax cuts to women's rights to gay rights. CALIFORNIA—Jerrv Brown, Jim Thompson, Howard Baker, Bill Bradley, Bill Clements and Nancy Landon Kassebaum were some of the big election winners. Edward Brooke, Robert Griffin, Meldrim Thompson, Robert Bennett and Wendell Anderson were some of the big name losers. Brown was reelected Governor of California and increased his hopes for a 1980 presidential bid. MIAMI BEACH-Legalized gambling lost Tuesday as voters rejected proposals to legalize casino gambling in Miami Beach, horse race betting in Virginia and jat alai wagering in New Jersey. Gay rights advocated had their way in California and Washington but they lost in Dade County, Florida-again! Women's rights measures were rejected in Florida and Nevada. MINNESOTA-The Hubert Humphrey magic disappeared from the state of Minnesota in the 1978 off-year elections. The Republicans cracked the Democratic coalition put together three decades ago and won the remaining four years of the late Senator s term. ILLINOIS—Senator Charles Percy is a prime example of a candidate who waited almost too long to heed that "message." At the start of the campaign Percy was tabbed a shoe-in but before is ended he was on the brink of involuntary retirement. Percy managed to win his uphill battle, but to do it the Republican Senator had to promise repentance and pledge to change his ways. AROUND THE NATION—Seven Senators and five Governors were voted out of office. However, several members of Congress in trouble with the law were reelected. They include Congressman Charles Diggs of Michigan, who was convicted last week of skimming his own payroll and Congressman Daniel Flood of Pennsylvania who has been indicted on bribery, perjury and conspiracy charges.

Sylva Shopping Center 586-9496 This is to all those pseudo humanoids at WCU Dear Editor, This letter is of apologies directed to those few individuals among the crowd of pseudo humanoids that were congregating between Dodson cafeteria and Helder dorm between 10:30 and 11 p.m. on Halloween night. It was about this time that I was driving my girlfriend's car (the green Volkswagen) by the screaming howling mob. My self-maintained state of calm and passivity was then abruptly (not to mention rudely, maliciously and contemptuously) interrupted. I stopped, got out, and inspected the area of impact where a tomato had struck my car. I was approached by two other men who said that they would help me find the person responsible. I declined their offer as I felt this would only incite trouble. I then calmly and with no bitterness got in my car so that I might go home. 1 had gone no more than 25 feet when I was struck a second time at which I became infuriated and lost all control of reason and ration. My trusting nature of people duped me again and showed me the futility of searching for a peaceful place to live. After spending 90 percent of the past seven years in the Cullowhee valley it is entirely out of my range of expectation that 1 should be able to mind my own business and not be harassed by a bunch of immature irresponsible lunatics who out of unfounded boredom vent their frustrations against school pro- lessors and cafeteria food on persons who are in no way responsible and who consider this place of imprisonment for such persons a haven of refuge from all of the things they represent. •*.-A?*Ln my d1epeSt aPol°g'es for having the gaul to think that people in college should be and act like adults instead of six year old brat children.
